"An invitation to a gathering in the city?" Lu Sheng stared in surprise at the invitation Jade Lotus had delivered in person.
The invitation was made of black embossed gold. Words danced across the page, and the ink carried a hint of the color of blood. Lu Sheng wondered what material it had been made of.
"Er… Squire Xiao Sheng brought it in person to the branch," Jade Lotus whispered. "Your subordinate thought that it was rather urgent, so sent it here as soon as I can."
Jade Lotus knew that Squire Xiao was no trifling character. Hence, an invitation that Xiao Hongye had delivered in person naturally had to be treated with extraordinary importance.
Lu Sheng sat in his study and gently flipped open the invitation.
"To Sect Master Lu: It’s been a long time. A senior from my house has come and hopes to meet Sect Master. — Xiao Hongye."
The contents were simple and its meaning clear.
Lu Sheng folded the invitation.
"Alright, carry on with your duties. I got it."
